Bob Haircuts
One
of the classic short haircuts is the page cut or the bob cut.
Traditionally the bob style haircuts are a one level cut that
ranges from a length just above the ears to just below the
ears. However, nowadays hairdressers define it for longer
hair going down to the neck.
Bob haircuts for women are one
style that never goes out of fashion. However, at times it
becomes a rage, while at others not too many people don it
for want of something different. Yet, this hairstyle suits
almost everyone, no matter what the face cut and makes the
person look rather chic and sophisticated.
While
hairdressers tend to experiment with various modifications
of the bob haircuts, yet essentially there are three types
of principle bobs or pages. These are explained as follows:
- The
Classic Bob Haircuts: This has been defined by hairstylists
as the one-cut length with a sleek look. The length of this
depends on what suits the face cut or shape of the face.
This style can also have a slight fringe running lightly
as the bottom, so as to give the face a soft look. There
are no bangs or fringes on top. One can stylize this hair
cut for various occasions by giving the hair more volume
with the use of volumizing products available in the market.
Also one can comb it back with a gel or mousse and for a
special occasion fix a flower at the back of the year. The
main feature of this hairstyle is the curve-in at the end;
and in case the hair is too stubborn and tends to fall flat
then one can use a larger diameter curling iron, or a large
round brush and some mousse to keep it that way.
- The
Inverted Bob Haircuts: This is mischievously defined as
a flirty variation of the classic bob cut. This style has
two inches layered at the bottom and with layered bangs
in front. Of course one can also opt for the straight-across
bangs. When cutting the hair to this style the hairdresser
needs to remove as much of the bulk hair at the bottom letting
it flip outwards. However, that much hair should be left
so as to maintain the actual bob style. The style looks
even better if it is curled inwards closed to the neck.
One could also style this typically like the classic bob.
Or then even curl it outwards with the curling iron. One
could also get the two-inch layer colored in a shade different
from the top part of the hair.
- The
Bob Layered Haircuts: this cut has been defined as a bob
with additional layers that do away with the natural curl
of the hair. This style is meant for those with curly hair.
However, in order to flatten it out slightly one could use
some moose. This will make the curls look softer and fall
well. In case one wants crisper curls then they can use
a diffuser, rather than a blow dryer and then scrunch them.
Actually with this process there will not be tight curls,
but the spiral open curls. Remember that if one over-combs
the curls then they will end up looking frizzy and broken.
This looks rather shabby to say the least. And if one wants
some of their curls falling on their face to give a softer
look then a curling iron will do the job. A curling gel
will help keep them in place.
Depending
on length variations there are the short bob haircuts and
medium bob haircuts, too.
